“Are you open?” in Lebanese Arabic

By Jack J.

In Lebanese Arabic, “Are you open?” (a common phrase meaning “Is your store (or restaurant, etc.) open?) is written using the Latin script as:

(m) 2enta fetih?

(f) 2ente fethe?

Using the Arabic script, it is written as:

انت فاتح؟ (m)

انتي فاتحي؟ (f)

Listen to these two phrases pronounced (audio)
